i got an interview for a job as an administration assistant and am
wondering what do say with the dreaded 'tell me about yourself' question
i'm not sure whether it's meant to be personal or professional!?
What would YOU say?
Give me an example!!
Thanks

Hey, this is a GREAT interview question to get!

It gives you the chance to tell the interviewer everything you want to be sure they know about you. I would tell them about the most important parts of my work experience, my strengths, the important projects I've worked on; one or two of my career successes; my goals; examples of work that show I have good values, and what I am looking for in a job. Mostly professional stuff.

If you think these things through in advance and even write a little outline to use in the interview so you don't leave anything important out, you'll be happy when they ask this question because this is one that will be easy for you to answer!

Good luck on your interview and remember: interviewers want to find good people as quickly and as easily as possible. (They're only human!) They want you to succeed! So go into your interview not with dread, but with a positive attitude of: this is going to be interesting and I am going to do well!

it is not as much the question, but how you answer it.. they want to caught you off guard.. see how you handle the question.

remember, answer how THEY want to hear, NOT how you want to answer. confusing yes I know..

do a little of both, personal and professional." I made sure I love what I do, I enjoy going to work everyday. but not enough where it makes me hate being at home.."

things like that..
